NEW YORK.- The Museum of Modern Art will screen today Blithe Spirit at 4:45 p.m. The film also screens Wednesday, December 31, 6:30 p.m. Based on Noel Coward's 1941 play and adapted for the screen by David Lean, Anthony Havelock-Allan, and Ronald Neame, Blithe Spirit (1945, Great Britain) stars Rex Harrison as a remarried widower doing research on the supernatural. When he and his second wife (Constance Cummings) hire a spiritualist (Margaret Rutherford) to conduct a seance, his first wife (Kay Hammond) returns from the dead, making mischief and refusing to return from whence she came. Presented in honor of the centenaries of both Lean and Harrison, this recently restored 35mm color print is courtesy of the British Film Institute, London.
